B.1 TRANSPORT, HANDLING AND STORAGE
B.1.1 INTRODUCTION
Transport (i.e. transfer of the machine from one place to another)
and handling (i.e. transfer inside workplaces) must occur with the
use of special and adequate means.
ATTENTION!
Due to their size, the machines cannot be stacked
on top of each other during transport, handling
and storage; this eliminates any risks of loads
tipping over due to stacking.
The machine must only be transported, handled and stored by
qualified personnel, who must:
-
have specific technical training and experience in the use of
lifting systems;
-
have knowledge of the safety regulations and applicable laws
in the relevant sector;
-
have knowledge of the general safety rules;
-
ensure the use of personal protection equipment suitable for
the type of operation carried out;
-
be able to recognise and avoid any possible hazard.
B.1.2 TRANSPORT: INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CARRIER
ATTENTION!
Do not stand under suspended loads during load-
ing/unloading operations.
Unauthorised personnel must not enter the work
area.
ATTENTION!
The machine's weight alone is not sufficient to
keep it steady. The transported load can shift:
- when braking;
- when accelerating;
- in corners;
- on rough roads.
B.1.3 HANDLING
Arrange a suitable area with flat floor for machine unloading and
storage operations.
B.1.4 PROCEDURES FOR HANDLING OPERATIONS
For correct and safe lifting operations:
use the type of equipment most suitable for characteristics
and capacity (e.g. electric pallet truck or lift truck);
cover sharp edges;
Before lifting:
send all operators to a safe position and prevent persons
from entering the handling area;
make sure the load is stable;
make sure no material can fall during lifting. Manoeuvre verti-
cally in order to avoid impacts;
handle the machine, keeping it at minimum height from the
ground.
ATTENTION!
For machine lifting, do not use movable or weak
parts such as: casings, electrical raceways, pneu-
matic parts, etc.
ATTENTION!
For information regarding weight, packing and
handling of the remote unit, refer to the manufac-
turer's instructions.
B.1.5 TRANSLATION
The operator must:
have a general view of the path to be followed;
stop the manoeuvre in case of hazardous situations.
ATTENTION!
Do not push or pull the appliance to move it, as it
may tip over.
B.1.6 PLACING THE LOAD
Before placing the load, make sure the way is free and that the
floor is flat and can take the load. Remove the appliance from
the wooden pallet, move it to one side, then slide it onto the floor.
B.1.7 STORAGE
The machine and/or its parts must be stored and protected against
damp, in a non-aggressive place free of vibrations and with room
temperature between -10°C and 50°C.
The place where the machine is stored must have a flat support
surface in order to avoid any twisting of the machine or damage
to the support feet.
ATTENTION!
Machine positioning, installation and disassembly
must be carried out by a specialised technician.
ATTENTION!
Do not make modifications to the parts supplied
with the machine. Any missing or faulty parts must
be replaced with original parts.
B.2 INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY
To ensure correct operation of the appliance and maintain safe
conditions during use, carefully follow the instructions given
below in this section.
ATTENTION!
The operations described below must be carried
out in compliance with the current safety regula-
tions, regarding the equipment used and the op-
erating procedures.
ATTENTION!
Before moving the appliance make sure the load
bearing capacity of the lifting equipment to be
used is suitable for its weight.
B.2.1 THE CUSTOMER'S RESPONSIBILITIES
The Customer must:
-
provide an earthed power socket of suitable capacity for the
input specified on the dataplate;
-
provide a high sensitivity manual-reset differential thermal-
magnetic switch. For information regarding the electrical
connection, refer to par. B.2.8 "Electrical connection";
-
check the flatness of the surface on which the machine is
placed.
B.2.2 MACHINE SPACE LIMITS
A suitable space must be left around the machine (for operations,
maintenance, etc.). This space must be increased in case of use
and/or transfer of other equipment and/or means or if exit routes
are necessary inside the workplace. Make sure to position the
appliance at least 50 mm from any other machines present in the
room (in fact, close proximity can create problems of condensate
forming on the walls of the appliance), also taking into consideration
the space needed for door opening.
B.2.3 POSITIONING
Install the appliance, taking all the safety precautions required for
this type of operation, also respecting the relevant fire-prevention
instructions.
Install the appliance in a ventilated place, away from heat sources
such as radiators or air conditioning systems, to allow correct
cooling of the refrigeration unit components. Never cover the
condenser, even temporarily, as this can compromise correct
operation of the appliance. If the machine is installed in a place
where there are corrosive substances (chlorine, etc.), it is advisable
to go over all the stainless steel surfaces with a rag soaked in
paraffin oil in order to create a protective film. The appliances
maintain their performance characteristics at a room temperature
of +43°C; in any case the max. room temperature at which they
